Slow excitation of cultured rat retinal ganglion cells by activating group I metabotropic glutamate receptors.
As in many CNS neurons, retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) receive fast synaptic activation through postsynaptic ionotropic receptors. However, the potential role of postsynaptic group I metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) in these neurons is unknown. In this study we first demonstrated that the selective group I mGluR agonist (S)-3,5-dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) increased intracellular calci...
متن کامل(S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine )an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors( induced synaptic potentiation at excitatory synapses on fast spiking GABAergic cells in visual cortex
Introduction: (S)- 3,5-Dihydroxyphenylglycine (DHPG) is an agonist for group I metabotropic glutamate receptors. DHPG-induced synaptic depression of excitatory synapses on hippocampal pyramidal neurons is well known model for synaptic plasticity studies. The aim of the present study was to examine the effects of DHPG superfusion on excitatory synapses on pyramidal and fast-spiking GABAergic cel...
متن کاملAdenosine A1 and class II metabotropic glutamate receptors mediate shared presynaptic inhibition of retinotectal transmission.
Presynaptic inhibition is one of the major control mechanisms in the CNS. Previously we reported that adenosine A1 receptors mediate presynaptic inhibition at the retinotectal synapse of goldfish. Here we extend these findings to metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs) and report that presynaptic inhibition produced by both A1 adenosine receptors and group II mGluRs is due to G(i) protein cou...
متن کاملIntensity-dependent, rapid activation of presynaptic metabotropic glutamate receptors at a central synapse.
Synaptic signals from retinal bipolar cells were monitored by measuring EPSCs in ganglion cells voltage-clamped at -70 mV. Spontaneous EPSCs were strongly suppressed by l-2-amino-4-phosphonobutyrate (AP-4), an agonist at group III metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluRs). Agonists of group I or II mGluRs were ineffective. AP-4 also suppressed ganglion cell EPSCs evoked by bipolar cell stimulat...
متن کاملImmunocytochemical localization of metabotropic (mGluR2/3 and mGluR4a) and ionotropic (GluR2/3) glutamate receptors in adrenal medullary ganglion cells.
The localization of metabotropic glutamate receptors of groups II (mGluR2/3) and III (mGluR4a) and the subunits 2 and 3 of alfa-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) ionotropic glutamate receptors (GluR2/3) was investigated with immunocytochemical methods in the rat adrenal gland. MGluR2/3, mGluR4a and GluR2/3 immunoreactivities were observed in large-sized, centrally locate...
